EQUIPMENT SAFETY GUIDELINES

z Safety of the operator and bystanders is one of the main concerns in designing and

developing a dump trailer. However, every year accidents occur which could have

been avoided by a few seconds of thought and a more careful approach to handling

equipment. You, the operator, can avoid many accidents by observing the following

precautions and insist those working with you, or for you, follow them.
z In order to provide a better view , certain photographs or illustrations in this manual may

show an assembly with a safety shield removed. However , equipment should never be

operated in this condition. Keep all shields in place. If shield removal becomes neces-

sary for repairs, replace the shield prior to use.
z Replace any safety sign that is not readable or is missing. An example of such safety

signs is shown in this manual.
z Never use alcoholic beverages or drugs that can hinder alertness or coordination while

operating this equipment. Consult your doctor about operating this machine while

taking prescription medications.

zz

z Under no circumstances should children under the age of 18 be allowed to work

zz

with this equipment. Do not allow persons to operate or assemble this unit until

they have read this manual and have developed a thorough understanding of the

safety precautions and of how it works. Review the safety instructions with all

users annually .

z This equipment is dangerous to children and persons unfamiliar with its operation. The

operator should be a responsible, properly trained and physically able person familiar

with farm machinery and trained in this equipment’s operations. If the elderly are

assisting with farm work, their physical limitations need to be recognized and accom-

modated.

z Use a tractor equipped with a Roll Over Protective System and seat belts. (ROPS)
z Never exceed the limits of a piece of machinery. If its ability to do a job, or to do so

safely , is in question- DON’T TRY IT.
z Do not modify the equipment in any way . Unauthorized modification could result in

serious injury or death and may impair the function and life of the equipment.
z In addition to the design and the confirmation of this implement, including safety signs

and safety equipment, hazard control and accident prevention are dependent upon the

awareness, concern, prudence, and proper training of personnel involved in the opera-

tion, transport, maintenance, and storage of the machine. Refer also to safety mes-

sages and operation instruction in each of the appropriate sections of the tractor and

dump trailer manuals. Pay close attention to the safety signs affixed to the tractor and

the dump trailer .

SAFETY TRAINING

z Safety is a primary concern in the design and manufacture of our product.

Unfortunately, our efforts to provide safe equipment can be wiped out by
a single careless act of an operator or bystander.

z In addition to the design and configuration of equipment, hazard control

and accident prevention are dependent upon the awareness, concern,
prudence and proper training of personnel involved in the operation, trans­port, maintenance and storage of this equipment.

z It has been said, “ The best safety device is an informed, careful opera-

tor.” We ask you to be that kind of operator. It is the operator’s respon­sibility to read and understand all safety and operating instructions in the
manual and to follow them. Accidents can be avoided.

z Working with unfamiliar equipment can lead to careless injuries. Read this

manual, and the manual for your tractor , before assembly or operating, to
acquaint yourself with the machines. If this machine is used by any person
other than you, or is loaned or rented, it is the dump trailer owner’s re­sponsibility to make certain that owner's manual be available to the opera­tor prior to operating:

1- Reads and understands the operator’s manuals.
2- Is instructed in safe and proper use.

z Know your controls and how to stop tractor , engine, and the trailer quickly

in an emergency . Read this manual and the one provided with your trac­tor.

z Train all new personnel and review instructions frequently with existing

workers. Be certain only a properly trained and physically able person will
operate the machinery. A person who has not read and understood all
operating and safety instructions is not qualified to operate the machine.

10

An untrained operator exposes himself and bystanders to possible seri­ous injury or death. If the elderly are assisting with farm work, their
physical limitations need to be recognized and accommodated.

PREPARTION

z Never operate the tractor and trailer until you have read and completely under-

stand this manual, the Tractor Operator’s Manual, and each of the safety mes­sages found on the safety signs on the tractor and trailer.

z Personal protection equipment including hardhat, safety glasses, safety shoes,

and gloves are recommended during assembly, installation, operation, adjust­ment, maintenance, repairing, removal, or moving the implement. Do not allow
long hair, loose fitting clothing, or jewelry to be around equipment.

z PROLONGED EXPOSURE TO LOUD NOISE MA Y CAUSE PERMANENT HEAR-

ING LOSS! Tractors can often be noisy enough to cause permanent, partial
hearing loss. We recommend that you wear hearing protection on a full-time
basis if the noise in the operator’s position exceeds 80 db. Noise over 80 db on
a long-term basis can cause severe hearing loss. Noise over 90 db adjacent to
the operator over a long-term basis may cause permanent, total hearing loss.
NOTE: Hearing loss from loud noise (from tractors, chain saws, radios, and
other such sources close to the ear) is cumulative over a lifetime without hope
of natural recovery.

z Operate the trailer only with a tractor equipped with an approved Roll-Over-

Protective System (ROPS). Always wear your seat belt. Serious injury of even
death could result from falling off the tractor — particularly during a turnover
when the operator could be pinned under the ROPS or the tractor.

z Operate only in daylight or good artificial light.
z Ensure trailer is properly mounted, adjusted and in good operating condition.
z Ensure that all safety shielding and safety signs are properly installed and in

good condition.

TRANSPORT SAFETY

z Use Slow Moving V ehicle (SMV) emblem and proper lighting on the tractor

when transporting the trailer . The dump trailer is made for off road use

only! Do not transport on public roads.

z T ransport at no more than 20 MPH on best road conditions. Reduce

speed when going up and down hills and when approaching ditches or
corners. Use care when transporting on rough terrain.

z Watch for low hanging power lines during transport, contact can cause

serious injury or death.

z Always comply with all state and local lighting and marking requirements.
z Keep your trailer in proper working condition. Unauthorized modifications

to the trailer may impair the function, affect trailer life, and put you at risk.
Do not add excessive weight to the trailer . Additional weight could cause
the frame to fail resulting in loss of control of trailer and or tractor during
transport.

11

OPERATIONAL SAFETY

z Always stop the tractor, set brake, shut off the tractor engine, and remove

the ignition key before dismounting tractor. Never leave equipment unat­tended with the tractor running.

z Do not reach or place any part of your body under equipment until it is

blocked securely.

z Do not allow riders on the trailer or tractor at anytime. There is no safe

place for any riders.

z Do not operate unless all personnel, livestock, and pets are several feet

away to prevent injury.

z Never operate tractor and trailer under trees with low hanging limbs. Op-

erators can be knocked off the tractor and then run over by the tractor or
trailer.

z Stop trailer and tractor immediately upon striking an obstruction. Turn

engine off, remove key, inspect and repair any damage before resuming
operation.

z Stay alert for uneven terrain, holes, rocks, and roots and other hidden

hazards. Keep away from drop-offs and hazards that could cause roll
over. Use extreme care and maintain minimum ground speed when trans­porting or operating on hillsides, over rough ground and when operating
close to ditches or fences. Be careful and slow down when turning sharp
corners and changing direction on slopes. Do not start or stop suddenly
on slopes. Avoid operation on steep slopes. In extremely uneven terrain,
rear wheels weights, front tractor weight, and/or tire ballast should be
used to improve stability.

z Always check tractor manual for proper use on slopes.
z When using a unit, a minimum 20% of tractor and equipment weight must

be on tractor front wheels. Without this weight, tractor could tip over,
causing personal injury or death. The weight may be attained with a front­end loader , front wheel weight s, ballast in the tires or front tractor weights.
When attaining a minimum 20% of tractor and equipment weight on the
front wheels, you must not exceed the ROPS weight certification. Weigh
the tractor and equipment. Do not guess or estimate!

SAFETY DECALS

A TTENTION! BECOME ALERT! YOUR SAFETY IS INVOL VED

Replace Immediately If Damaged

The following safety decals are located on your implement. Read
them and follow their instructions. Keep all decals in place and legible. If
safety signs have been damaged, removed, become illegible or parts
have been replaced without signs, new safety signs must be applied.
